Stability testing a new system.

[chasm22]

How do you guys test your overclocks to make sure you system is stable?
I have a 1.2ghz t bird @ 10x140 and everything seems OK, but I'm new to overclocking and want to make sure of the results.

I have run Prime95, Sandra burn in, rc5, and 3dMark2000 without problems. Is that good enough? My cpu temps are usually around 43-44c during a test or program like Prime95, which seems OK to me. Idle is 28 or 29c. Are there any other benchmarks that are a *must*?

Do you run the tests one at a time, or should the machine be capable of running multiple tests at once?

Also, can anyone point out to me what the safe limits are with the 1.2 t bird in respect to core voltage and I/O voltage?

you seem to have run the usual gauntlet of punishment tests on that system!
this may be of some interest!

I've seen lots of 2.05 and 3.6. Maybe more but it your cpu not mine

I agree. BurnInTest is a great way to tell. I thought my box was happy for a while at a higher setting until I rip it thru BIT. Let BIT go for at least 6 hours (or more if you want to be more certain). Usually, problems comes up within the first 20 minutes anyways. The extra time is for comfort factor...
